Online Safety

 Online Safety encompasses internet technologies and electronic communications such as mobile phones, iPads
and wireless technology. It highlights the need to educate children and young people about the benefits and risks of using technology.

At McMillan Nursery School we teach online safety through our PSED curriculum (located under curriculum). To promote online safety, every year we have an online safety week where we provide both children and parents with information on how to stay safe online. Children are reminded of this learning throughout the year.   

Below are some useful websites with informtion on how to keep your child safe online. 

Parental controls are an important way of keeping your child safe online. The website below provides lots of information and help and support with parental controls.
